About the Configuration File

The Config.properties files defines the database connection required to import and export data. By default, the file is in:
C:\HYPERION_HOME\hps\9.5\tools\config\config.properties

Although you can override default settings from a command line, make permanent changes in the file. For example, if your data uses a different date format, modify that setting in the file. The following table lists the entries that you can change. For information about the formats and symbols that you can use in the file, see Formats and Symbols.
